The Food Safety Authority or Ireland (FSAI) has issued a recall notice for a popular brand of hot sauce.

A batch of the Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce is being recalled due to a risk of the contents “exploding once the bottle is opened”, according to the FSAI website. “This poses a risk of hot chili sauce irritating eyes or skin,” it adds.
